DOUBLE BREASTED CABLE CARDI

Knit Simple Winter 2012 #6

Design by Kristen TenDyke

An eye-catching color brings a feminine touch to this men’s-wear-inspired look, a combo of cables, seed stitching and horizontal ribbing. The wide placket that creates the double-breasted silhouette is picked up and finished with pairs of buttons.
